Clinical and computed tomography outcome after primary and revisional fundoplication.
Observational study in Surgical endoscopy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFailure of laparoscopic fundoplication (LF) occurs in up to 10% and revisional laparoscopic fundoplication (RLF) becomes an option. Data on clinical and anatomical outcomes using computed tomography after RLF are limited.
methodsAll patients undergoing RLF for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and/or hiatal hernia (HH) between 2015 and 2022 were compared to primary LF-patients (PLF) using a 1:5 weighted propensity score matching. The primary outcome was 1-year recurrence of symptoms (in patients with GERD) or radiological wrap slippage or HH recurrence in patients with HH. Secondary outcomes included the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) and perioperative and postoperative data.
resultsThere were 31 RLF (6 GERD, 25 HH) and 120 (36 GERD, 84 HH) PLF cases. Symptomatic recurrence for GERD indication after 1 year was seen in 16.7% after RLF and 11.1% after PLF (p = 0.54). Radiological abnormalities in HH were seen in 36% after RLF (24% minor slippages and 12% recurrent hernias) and 15.5% after PLF (11.9% minor slippage and 3.6% recurrent hernias; p = 0.028). Operative time (188 min vs. 147 min, p < 0.001) and hospital stay (6.6 days vs. 3.8 days, p < 0.001) were significantly longer after RLF. Early complication rates were higher in RLF (16.1% vs. 3.3%, p = 0.007). GIQLI scores were comparable (122.6/144 after RLF vs. 124.4/144 after PLF, p = 0.58), with > 92% of patients in both groups reporting good/excellent outcomes.
conclusionRLF is associated with longer operative time, increased morbidity, and higher rates of CT abnormalities compared to PLF. Symptom control and quality of life were comparable.
